2005 Château Carbonnieux, Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan

2005 Château Carbonnieux, Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 176: Surprisingly reminiscent of a Burgundy grand cru such as Corton, this 2005 Pessac-Leognan offers a dark ruby hue as well as beautifully sweet, leafy, black cherry, and smoky aromas intermixed with hints of oak and earth. Not a blockbuster, it is a wine of finesse, delicacy, and purity with lovely balance, good acidity, ripe tannin, and a sweetness that permeates the flavors as well as the tannic structure. It should be drinkable at a relatively young age. 91 points.
